People Born to Dance,

Strangers consider us dancing maniacs,
for we are at it all the year around. The
real reason lies partly in our climate and
partly in our population. No other sport
can thrive here in winter. The sea air
and the heat of half million fires makes
sleighing, shedding and all winter sports
impossible. Then we are made up OF
Scotch, Irish, English, Germans, French,
Italians and Jews-all inveterate dancers.
1t seems as If everybody dances, and
usually on the cooperative plan. Wherever
twenty factory hands or counter girls are
gathered together q "coterien or social
club is formed A years dues and fines,
amounting to nothing until they accumu-
late, serve to hire hall and buy few
tickets and cards, and that is enough.
Every sort of people give their annual
balls. The elevated train men, the Knights
of Labor, the thousands of shop girls, the
political clubs, the demi monde, the mar
ketmen, the Catholic societies, the BIZ
cyclers, canoeists, athletic clubs, cigarette
girls, city department employees and every
body else. And it makes no difference
about Sunday either. In fact, Sunday
night is the favorite time for dancing in
the east side tenement district, and even
in the uptown brown stone quarter among
the wealthy Hebrews Dancing schools
are very numerous, and the latest dance
steps can be learned for prices within the
means of sewing women, but most of us
have dancing born in our heels.-New
York Cor, Providence Journal.

Pioneer Press: 1t Is no longer good
form to send bridal presents promis-
cuously or to intrude upon the sane
tity of a wedding anniversary with
wooden, iron, china or silver articles
for gifts. The fashion in these matters
has changed, just as the fashion OF
sending flowers to houses of mourning
In cases OF death it is easy to set
forth the wishes of the family in this
regard, and the phrase mo Flowers
appended to death notices tells it's
own story; but brides and grooms
cannot well assume that they are
going to get anything, and SO find it
difficult to forestall the friends who
bob up at every wedding with glass
pickle jars; card receivers, silver
napkin rings, and cheap engra-ings.
Neither can the couple who wish to
celebrate their silver or diamond
wedding anticipate the friends who
come to the front on these occasions
with gifts that are often meant to be
funny. and are nearly always useless.
To refuse these gifts would be to af-
front the donors; to send word that
no gifts were wanted would be to ef-
fer an Importance. Society now al
ways lays down the law that there
shall he no presents at anniversaries,
and that where presents are received
by bride from those who have the
right to send them, they shall not be
exhibited publicly, and shall not be
accessible to anybody until the cards
containing the names of the donors
have been removed.

A Curious Old Custom.

Tt used to be the custom many years
ago in old Esopus, now Kingston, for all
thrifty DANES to prepare "grave clothes, !"
for the different members of the family.
With the growth of child the old "grave
clothes" would be iscarded-perhaps
given to On improvident or shiftless neigh
Dor to be used in time Of need-and new
garments would be promptly made to re-
place the old. A story is told about @
relative of the late Judge Westbrook, of
Kingston City. Mrs. IS grave clothes
had been laid carefully away for many O
long day. When grown yellow or mussed
looking the old lady would "do them up
fresh" with her own hands and feeling
of blissful readiness and security would
again be hers. One day q neighbor called
on the old lady, and the latter was found
to be greatly perturbed over something
"Guess you'd be'flustered, too" said the
excited dame, eff somebody came and
borrowed your grave clothes, just after
they'd all been done up fresh. That shift
less Miss -! knew she wouldn't have
anything fit to wear when she came to
die; and, sure enough, it was borrow,
borrow, even after her death Such shift
lessness never could endure! Now I've
got to go to work and make up another
set, or l may be catched in the same box. :"
The old lady, who was then past 90, went
promptly to work and had fresh grave
clothes made up, and it is asserted on
good authority that she lived only few
hours after their completion.

A Lecture on Economy.

A stupid looking tramp knocked at one
of the finest residences In Austin, and
was received by the lady of the house.
"What do you want?"
"Please'm, give me dime to buy a
glass of bread; 'scuse me, I mean loaf
of BEER
II haven't got any money"
"'Haven'i got no money? Then, madam,
modest as this cottage is would suggest
your moving into cheaper house; you are
evidently living beyond your means. Econ
omy is wealth. Economic in the way Of
clothes and house rent. Cut your eX.
penses, and then perhaps some day you
will have dime to spare-a dime, madam,
that may be the means of preventing a
hungry and thirsty fellow mortal from
committing suicide; or it may be a quarter
"a coin of the value Of twenty-five cents
that will upholster the dark clouds of
the horizon of his despairing soul with O
silver plated lining and fill his stomach
with book beer. Good day, fair lady" ~

Steel is queer stuff. That metal should
be in such common use in which are to be
found so many valuable characteristics in
its normal condition, and which can be
changed by heat or cold to appear like q
new something, entirely different in char
acter, and still its value be enhanced in
calculably by the change, seems marvel
Gus. That the hard pieces of steel, which
resist all efforts to cut them with chisel or
file, may be softened by simple heating
and cooling, so that they may be cut and
worked and engraved into all the thou
sands of shapes of utility and beauty in
which steel may be found in toolrooms
and vaults Of our busy manufactures, and
that, when the work is all put on the
same pieces, may be reheated and cooled,
and made thereby so hard that no tool
which cut them before will mark them,
made so hard even as to cut glass like
diamonds, is wonderful. Budget

The Church Press: There are,
doubtless, ali over the land, families
who owe their doctors bill. Let
them give an oyster supper to pay
the physician. Let them offer tickets
to homoeopaths and allopaths, to
people who don't believe in medicine
at all. Let them get little boys and
girls to importune people to buy them.
Let them get the hall free, and circu-
lars and advertisements, if possible.
The dear doctor must be paid. He
may not prefer this way, but it is
only right to be honest and pay ones
debts, and there is surely nothing
mean or selfish in letting other per-
sons help us if they will. The doctor
may even have feelings: but, if he
has, what business has he to be
family physician? No doubt the
bill will be paid. 1t is, however, by
the way, not new, but an old way of
paying debts-the novelty is in APP
plying it to a doctor, instead of
parson.

Recollections of ola Hickory.

AS the daughter Of the late Senator
Benton, Mrs, Fremont's opportunities to
observe and remember date back as far as
the presidency of Gen. Jackson. When
Old Hickory and Old Bullion had their
talks at the White House, the president
liked to have the senator from Missouri
bring his little daughter Jessie, and Mrs.
Fremont speaks of these visits with q
sweet, tender and delicious simplicity.
They were accustomed to find the presi.
dent in an upper room, "where the tall
south windows sent in strong breadths OF
sunshine, but his big rocking chair was
always drawn close to the large wood
fire." AS Jackson talked with the child IS
father he would keep her by him, his hand
on her head. Sometimes" Mrs. Ere
mont writes, forgetting me, in the inter.
est of discussion, his long, bony fingers
took an unconscious grip" but she had
been trained not to vince or show pain
even if Gen, Jackson twisted her curls q
little too vigorously. This description of
the stern old soldier president, seated in q
rude old fashioned rocking chair in the
White House, with the child by him,
while he discussed men and affairs with
the Missouri senator, brief ga tt Is, is q
picture. -Philadelph Times.

To Impress Constituents.

1t is estimated by the clerks who
handle them that more than 1900 meas
ures have been introduced in the house
since it became evident to any wideawake
member that there was not the least hope
of action by both houses, and that the
measures would die, and that one-half of
these, the authors well knew, would never
be acted upon by either house. Even at
this late day call of the house will result
in the introduction of from 100 to 300 bills
when committee meetings, with very few
exceptions, have been suspended, and it is
improbable, not to say impossible, that
any of them will receive attention. Asked
why this was SO, an old member said: 'It
is to satisfy the constituency. Why, l
have often received requests from con-
stituents during the last month in con-
gress to introduce bill, and when I told
them that there was not the least possible
chance of consideration they urged that I
introduce it anyway. l have had con-
stituents insist that introduce bill on
the very last day of a session, and II did
not do it they would work against me- -

is one of the most happiest lndividu-
ais in the world. He can go to the
circus in the afternoon and evening
without payinga nickle; also to in
quests and hangings. He has free
tickets to theatres, gets wedding cake
sent to him, and sometimes gets a
licking, but not often, for he can take
things back in the next issue, which
hs generally does. While other folks
have to go to bed early the editor can
sit up late every night, and see all

Santon at the War Department.

Inc lrOntlSplece 10 tic MulCA
Century is portrait of Secretary
Stanton, accompanied by some remi-
niscences, from which We quote as
follows: "Although Mr.. Stanton was
by nature an accessible man, it was
simply impossible for him to give
private audience to 1.-THE of the
persons who daily inquired for him.
Even Senators and Representatives
in Congress often had difficulty in
seeing him at the times and In the
manner they desired, and frequently
accepted 'potluck' with the crowd in
the public reception-room. Colonel
Hardie, n handsome Scotch-looking
officer, took charge Of this room early
in the morning and, in the name and
by authority of the Secretary dis
patched the business OF such as
neither needed nor insisted upon the
personal action of the Secretary. He
also sent in the names of such callers
as he thought the Secretary would
privately receive and, from time to
time, went in himself to toke the
Secretary's commands upon some
case of Especial difficulty or importance
As nearly rs possible to eleven O'Clock
the Secretary, who had an almost re-
ligious regard for this daily obser-
vance, came into the room and took
station at the little, high desk near
the bottom, Colonel Hardie or Major
Pelouze being in attendance to assist
him. He waved everybody back who
approached him until he had com.
pleted deliberate scrutiny of the
company and had received from the
officer i'll attendance statement, IL
| q low voice, of the exceptionally mr.
| gent or meritorious eases. Then, one
after another, he indicated those
whom he wished to draw near, be.
ginning with the soldiers. and, after
them, calling up the plainly dressed
| women, who looked as if they might
| lie soldiers kinfolk. If he happened
! to notice that soldier had crutches
or was weak from illness, he would
| leave the desk and go to him where
he was seated. Officers bearing visible
| tokens of wounds or disability were
also preferred suitors, but with Other
| gentlemen of the Shoulderstrap h
was usually curt. Civilians he treated
accordingly as his humor was affected
| by their statements or manner, bu
but there was always q general OBJ
servance of the underlying principle
that this public reception was fol
those who had no other means of ac
| cess to him. 1t was here that MIR
| Stanton might usually be seen at hi:
best. If a case of unusual gallantry
merit, or suffering. were stated, Ii,
would comment upon it aloud to th'
company, ending with a moral, i'll
viting to patriotism, virtue, or forti
| tude. On the other hand, if he founC
a woman suppliant embarrassed by
| the publicity of ST atement and action
he would draw her beyond the desk Il
the window-recess and hear her there
or send her to his room to he hear(
more leisurely or privately. Some o
us used to think, while watching tn,
Secretary at these receptions, that :
great power had been lost to the pull
pit when he became lawyer; for HI
was an admirable preacher and fal

Giving in Marriage.

Come, let us sit together for space,
In this still room remote from friendly
mirth,
Afar from light and music face to face
Each unto each tho dearest thing on earth.
Love, they havo left u.s. our two bOnny brides
Our tall, grave girl, our winsome, laughing
pet;
All me! How wide the chasm that divides
Our life from theirs; how far their feet are
From the calm path they trod with us so long.
How we shall miss them, we who loved them
On winter nights when winds are blowing
strong,
On summer mornings. when the roses blow.
But-happy but-Wc still clasp hand in hand,
Eye still meets eye and true hearts under-
stand.
Love, they have left US empty of tho mrth
That eheered our homestead while they So
iourned here:
Yea, they have left us lonely on the earth,
Lone, but together. solitude most dear;
All God, go with them to the stranger nests,
That love has built for them and theirs
to come.
G. cd keep all warm and living in their breasts
Loves holy flame, the altar-fre of home.
Dear they have left us; we no longer hold
The first, best place, however leal each
heart.
Yet have we treasure left, refined gold,
Loves sterling ore, without its baEer part,
The wide old house has lost It's nesting birds,
But we are left. All, love- what need OF
words?

q A Poodle Plague Hits the Capital.


Since Mrs. Cleveland has adopted the
black poodle for a pet dog Washington
society has taken up the same species as
its pet. Not long ago Hector, the
black Antwerp poodle, who lords it over
all the other pets at the White House on
account of seniority, was the only black
poodle in this city, but now no dude con-
siders himself in the fashion unless he has
black poodle. Even the young ladies
have taken to black poodles for pet dogs.
In walk up the avenue I counted no less
than six black poodles in as many squares.
1t was curious to note the various speci-
mens-some very fine looking; others
looked shaggy and dirty, as if just risen
from poverty to affluence and they had
not had time to get used to it. A dog
fancier in this city says he has more or
ders for black poodles than he can fill, and
that the boom in the dog market is I'M
precedented. He says he thinks of begin
ming to dye some of his white poodles
black to meet the demand. AS yet the
call for monkeys has not begun.-Cor.

In some of the towns in this state
competition between kerosene oil
dealers has resulted in running the
price of that article down to nine
cents a gallon. Perhaps it's good
thing after all that the State Oil In
spector didn't have his official head
cut ott'entirely by the late Legislature.
There ought to be some barrier be-
tween the rival dealers and such
reckless disregard of profits at this.
